Andrew Lloyd Webber has revealed that he shed a tear after making home visit to Eurovision hopeful Jade Ewen’s home.

Jade acts as carer to her dad Trevor, who is blind, and mum Carol, who is partially blind and deaf. She worked hard to achieve a scholarship to stage school so she could follow her dreams whilst also helping to care for her two brothers.

Lord Lloyd-Webber told The Sun: “I didn’t realise just where Jade had come from and what a difficult life she’d had. I admit I got rather emotional. It does make you thankful for all you have.”

Jade said: “My parents’ disabilities gave me a lot of drive.”
